Changing battery connectors and drill motor

[psycho_fling]

hi all

when i recieve some anderson connectors i have ordered, i plan to changing the connectors on my nimhs and nicads from tamiya to anderson. is there anything i need to be aware of? or are they as simple as say an anderson link?

also will a 14.4v be able to run on over 24volts or is that to high?

thanks alex

You should have no probs with the Andersons.

will a 14.4v be able to run on over 24volts or is that to high?
Well ... Im afraid its one of those questions that cant really be answered with a yes or no.

It is pushing it a little ...but it might be fine ....on the other hand ...it might not.

when changing the battery connectors will the batteries spark? and so will i need to discharge my batteries before changing the connectors?

not if you keep them electrically isolated from one another.

Electricity will only flow and create a spark if there is a path to follow.

If youre talking about a spark when hooking up the batteries to the speed controller or when putting the link in this is perfectly normal most of the time - the spark is just a current rush charging up the rather large on board capacitors of most speed controllers.
